Journal Entry
Day: One
Record Entered By: Kaj Inej
START.
Firstly, I would like to make it clear that I was not consulted in the decision on who should keep the records. If I had been, I most certainly would have chosen someone else. Dah Rin, for example. He is the technical leader of this caravan. Shouldn't he be the one with this responsibility? Of course he should. And yet I'm still the one here.
Typical.
There isn't even a necessity for a record at this point. It's the first day of this journey, and nothing of interest has happened. There. Entry complete. How this will aid future travelers eludes me.
Of course, this isn't exactly a standard caravan trip. I've been on several before; there's a tentative amount of time that we have had to make it back in. Now, it's just move as quickly as possible. First the Path, then maybe the Mines up north. Perhaps Luda as well. I know people in Luda. Extended family and such.
Family.
It's a strange word. There're too many definitions of it. I think that everyone should decide on just one meaning of 'family' and stick with it already. For example, family could just be people related by blood or a similar tie. Ciel is family; she's my sister, related by blood.
But Drey is family as well, which is where 'family' changes from one thing to another. See where it gets a bit confusing? Although, Drey's situation is a bit different, I suppose. My parents liked his parents, and that's all that was needed. Gods, but I wish I could tell him sometimes. I don't know how I would do it, though, and I think that it's that, more than anything else about it, that keeps me from saying anything. I mean, how would you go about something like that? You just…don't.
The boy's just too damn cheerful about everything. It doesn't feel right. He's worrying everybody, apparently.
And this is why I should not have been the one to keep the records. There were a total of three sentences that were relevant in this entire thing. I think next time I'll just make Dah Rin write it.
END.
